The First Epistle of John begins with the famous statement that “God is light and in Him there is no darkness at all” (v5). John the Evangelist also affirms that “Jesus is the light of the world” (John 8:12). In both cases “light” communicates illumination and guidance for the way we live our lives. The Father and the Son join together to provide all the light we need to enjoy a meaningful and empowering life both now and forevermore.
